WASHINGTON—The U.S. women’s soccer team played to a 0–0 draw with Costa Rica in sweltering temperatures Tuesday night in its final exhibition tune-up game before the Paris Olympics.

It was 98 degrees at kickoff after Washington hours earlier recorded a 104-degree temperature that tied the hottest day on record in the nation’s capital.
